Danny Armstrong at the double as Kilmarnock see off St Johnstone

DANNY Armstrong grabbed a deadly double as Kilmarnock returned to winning ways in the cinch Premiership with a 2-1 victory over St Johnstone at Rugby Park

The 24-year-old winger opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a stunning free-kick from distance then added a second at the start of the second half before Saints substitute Theo Blair reduced the deficit just as four minutes of added time began.

It was only the second win in nine league matches for the newly-promoted Ayrshire side, who had lost three on the bounce away from home, and the man-of-the-match performance from Armstrong helped take them out of the bottom two, above Ross County and Dundee United.
